With Great Sadness

Rickee joined MaPaw in 2006 as an overweight senior. His foster family worked with Rickee to get some of the excess weight off of him and help him learn his manners.

A few months later, Rickee and the McKeever family met at the Green Lane Scottish/Irish Festival and Rickee instantly fell in love. Soon after Rickee was adopted by the McKeevers. Rickee was a special boy and the McKeevers gave him the incredible gift of love.

Rickee ~ wear your silver harness proudly and dance among the stars to the Bridge. Candles are lit to help guide your way. Know how many people loved you and please watch over your family from above.

Our condolences to the McKeever family as they mourn. Thank you for giving Rickee such a wonderful and loving home. You are in our thoughts as we grieve with you.

Foster Homes Needed!

The number of pups we can bring into rescue depends on the amount of foster space we have available. We never have a shortage of pups needing rescue, and for some, we are their only chance at a second chance. Foster homes are our greatest asset and the resource we need the most. We provide everything you need ~ crate, blankets, food and medical care. You provide a safe and secure home where our pup will be loved and cared for until they find their forever family. Please "contact us" if you have any questions about fostering or "click here" to submit an application to foster a MaPaw dog.
